Dear Diary, What is going on!? Am I seeing things- are my eyes going bad!? I keep on seeing these gray hazy shapes beside people! And no, they're definitely not shadows! They shape is completely different from what it's next to- well, most of the time. I'll just ignore it and maybe it'll go away. -Week later- Dear Diary and my sanity if it's listening, Things are going from delusional to outright cuckoo crazy! I swear I saw a face in the gray globs I've been seeing, but it wasn't scary or anything, it was like catching the face of an angel. And it wasn't like he had perfect features or anything, but his eyes. The care and heartfelt love in them was so... unbelievable? I guess? I can't explain it... I can neither explain what I saw today, but it wasn't the sort of spooky but endearing sort of thing I saw yesterday, but a bewildering (?, yeah, I would put it that way) scene of a witch riding on a broom through out traffic on the highway. Every once in a while, she would disappear into one of the cars and then jump into another one. Strangely enough, after she came out, most of the people driving would either start becoming careless or be shooting off their horn at another car. I am seriously considering going to see a psychiatrist, but I don't want to explain why to my dad, so I'll just ignore it for now. Surely, it'll go away!? -Week later- Dear Diary!!! It hasn't gone away!!!! It's getting worse!! I keep on seeing roads disappearing and being replaced with wide open fields as if no man has touched it before! Not only that, sometimes I see part of a building missing as if a line was drawn straight down in a clean cut and a forest begins as if it was natural! I've been keeping my distance from these strange things I've seen, but now I wonder if I should investigate? I picked a flower from one of my 'hallucinations' and it was real! Maybe, the rest is real too? Could it be possible? But if it is, why did it have to be me? I'm just a normal girl in high school trying to graduate so I can go to college with a dance scholarship. Maybe go on a few dates or see if Sean would help me find a guy from the soccer team? They are so hot! Isn't that hard enough for a girl? -Couple of days later- Dear Diary!!!!!! I have HUGE NEWS! I'm not crazy after all, I actually found someone who gave me some answers! His name... did I ask him? I'm sure I did, but I don't remember! Darn my horrible memory that acts like a willful child choosing what it wants and doesn't! Anyway, I atleast remember the most important thing- I'm not crazy! So it turns out, I came across our forgotten world. Or should I say kingdom. Anyway, he tried to explain that the world is like a coin with 2 faces on it- same world but two parts that can't face each other. Although, we did at one point, but that was before the rebellion and this really evil guy took a third of the kingdom to go up against the king. He didn't win though and retreated. .... but then, what was it? He put out a bet to the king? or something? Ah, faulty memory, I'll have to ask again. But in the long run- he and his minions are fighting the King and his loyal people for our world.... or something. I don't think it has anything to do with me, I'll just enjoy the new scenery I get to see now. -Couple of Months Later- "EXCUSE ME!? You want me to do WHAT NOW!? I must've heard you wrong!"

Before being thrust into this unfamiliar existence, the soul was given a cryptic promise: by growing stronger and surviving the trials of this new world, he could unlock the memories of his past life. But the path was neither easy nor quick. The new Neuman pursued a far more personal and enigmatic goal. He wasn’t interested in reclaiming the memories of the body’s previous owner.

Haunted by questions of identity and purpose, Neuman tried his best to uncover them. Each challenge he faced drew him closer to answers that could shatter everything—or bring clarity to his existence.

Ini bukan sekadar kompilasi, sebenarnya. Ini adalah permainan emosi, di mana setiap cerita akan membawamu ke dimensi yang berbeda-beda. Beberapa cerita akan mencakar kewarasanmu dengan kegelisahan yang mendalam, kekacauan, teror, dan jenis patah hati yang bertahan lama setelah kalimat terakhir. Yang lain akan membungkusmu dengan kehangatan; lembut, menyembuhkan, seperti teh kamomil di pagi hari ketika duniamu akhirnya terasa tenang. Kamu takkan tahu apa yang kamu dapatkan. Kehancuran...atau kegembiraan? Namun, itulah sensasinya. Bacalah secara berurutan. Atau tidak. Ikuti suasana hatimu. Atau biarkan ceritanya yang memilihmu. One shot is all it takes...and sometimes, that’s more than enough.
